WH (Heer) 'Nachrichten' (Signals) EM/NCO's Visor Cap (Schirmmütze). Visor caps were a standard item for all armed forces personnel during the Third Reich period. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps. The cap is complete with slightly damaged celluloid manufacturers sweat-diamond ('Raute'), size 57 marked. The leather sweatband is in very good condition.
